After the crazy temperature records all across Australia earlier this month, Anthony somehow had to change the subject to something a little less awkward I guess.

Not quite sure why Anthony thinks, or pretends to think, it’s a revelation that there are more deaths during cold weather than hot weather. Or what that really has to do with climate. Cold weather deaths are generally a risk to those with inadequate shelter, not some magic indicator of ‘the best’ climate for Homo sapiens.

It makes a useful denialist bellowing talking point I guess, but I love how eagerly Anthony jumps on any mention of the word “cold”. It’s almost Pavlovian!

Nice to see ‘argumentum ad homophobeum’ from a denialist. Shows not only they’ve run out of ammunition, but that they’re bigots, too. Anthony Watts must be wondering how he manages to attract all the weirdos, but he needn’t look far :)
